Here is one that I've held onto for too long... Support local music, and enjoy!

Augury Of The Phantom Watcher

First track posted since graduating with my master's degree. It's been a long time, and it feels good to be back on the trackz. As I was doing my graduate research, I was going through stages of minimalist, new age meditative music that would enable me to listen in enjoyably without too much motion/activity that would distract me from my study focus. Shuffling through artists like Mars Lasar and Ajad, I stumbled upon some music from Jack DeJohnette, specifically the albums "Peace Time" and "Music in the Key of Om." Aside from sharing the similarities of being a jazz drummer and musician who also loves exploring their own tastes through composition, I was immediately attracted to and inspired by his artistic sensibility, creating so much beauty out of such little material. It was striking to my ears, and as I have also been experimenting with more open-minded forms of electronic music within the last year or so, I decided to emulate something along the lines of this new age manifest. Thus, I improvised minimally and here is what I came up with. As always, enjoy and support local music! "is the six-syllabled Sanskrit mantra particularly associated with the four-armed Shadakshari form of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion. The first word Om is a sacred syllable found in Indian religions. The word Mani means 'jewel' or 'bead,' Padme is the 'lotus flower' (the Buddhist sacred flower), and Hum represents the spirit of enlightenment." (Taken from Wikipedia.org).

Om Mani Padme Hum

Pneuma epitomizes the dreamy musings that desire to manifest- from artistic architectures of chance, reaction, adaptation, and balance; to the abstractions of multidimensionality. 

It is the idea of myriad cosmogyral universes- feathering the edges of time and space. How our endless decisions forever converge and diverge amongst an infinite forest of conscious pathways. 

An improvised kaleidoscope of strings, textures, timbres, and rhythms cascading through a flow of yin and yang. Perpetually shifting, creating between tension and release, chaos and order; tranquility within symmetry, form sparked amid friction. 

Drums of the earth, rising from the ether of Tone. There is elucidation in the separation... But in the end, is it not all love? 

Music is Nature, and Nature is Music.
